With Office Pro Plus being a subject and technology close to my heart, there have been a number of developments which I would like to point out.

Download and installation of Office 2019 products

At Microsoft Ignite is has been announced that Office 2019 is now available for commercial volume licensed (trusted) customers and then will be available to all customers, consumer and commercial over next far weeks.
